I've got some DS-2DE3304W-DE cameras and I'm trying to connect to them using their multicast ip and I'm not having any success.

I'm setting the camera multicast ip to 239.254.222.222 and turning multicast discovery on but I can't figure out how to connect to the stream via the multicast ip

I can set vlc to force multicast rtp via rtsp and connect to the camera via its main ip so it must be multicast streaming. But if I attempt to connect to the multicast ip I don't get anything.

I've tried the following with no luck
rtsp://239.254.222.222:554/streaming/channels/1
rtp://239.254.222.222
udp://239.254.222.222

I'm assuming I need to use a specific port and uri but I cant find what they would be anywhere online.
 
Have you tried "rtsp://239.254.222.222:554/streaming/channels/101", not 1 ?
